Marzipan originates from the Orient, where this almond-sugar delicacy was served at the sultan's table to crown the meal. This sweet speciality reached Spain and Portugal, and was introduced to Europe via the trading centre of Venice during the crusades. At the beginning of its history, marzipan was produced by pharmacists, and was reputed as being a medical cure well into the 18th century.

In the 14th century, marzipan became a dessert on the noblest dinner tables, and served as a luxury gift for the Empire's highest dignitaries. Following the discovery of the New World and the worldwide cultivation of sugar cane, Europe benefited from easier access to sugar than ever before. As a result, confectioners took over the production of marzipan.

Lubeck, Germany, is universally known for its superior chocolate-covered marzipan. We offer to all marzipan fans the ultimate delight- a shimmering red-wrapped bar of marzipan enrobed in chocolate.

Bar is very big and seems to be made for sharing but chocolate is very thick making the bar hard to cut and hard to share. But the marzipan is very good

Everyone loves this product !

Truly the ultimate delight!

This is the supreme indulgence worth paying for. I have never had any other chocolate confection that I have loved more. Delightful in every way. To look anticipatingly at it in its (as described so well above)shimmering red wrapping, to feel the luscious weight of it in your hand, then to peel away just a little of the end of the paper to reveal the tight, dark covering of chocolate and the teasing aroma of amazing marzipan hiding underneath is an experience even before one takes the first tiny bite that sweeps one up into clouds of happiness...oh...my...not too rich, not too sweet--PERFECT in fact. Thank you for making this available through your website. I am so grateful!

As good as I remember

I forgot how good Marzipan was in our family as children it was a special Christmas treat in our stocking. The dark chocolate and light almond taste as I ate the bar brought back many happy memories of childhood and the magix of Christmas

Delicious

Always, I used to get one of these in my Christmas stockings as a kid, my parents are from europe and marzipan is very popular all over. There was only one place close to where I lived where we can buy them. That was before the internet. The one I got was great,marzipan flavor just like I remembered. I wish I could find fruit just like back then too. The paste needs to have a protective candy glaze to seal in the flavor.
